I'm glad this is all happening. More LIVE broadcasting for Pacific time prime time. I don't know why CNN focuses primarily on Eastern time. New Day airs from 3-6AM Pacific time. Not fair at all. CNN needs to continue New Day from 9AM-Noon Eastern time which would be 6-9AM Pacific time. That would be fair. Put Michaela Periera on with a male cohost. If HLN can have a 6AM-Noon ET morning show, why can't CNN?

Anderson Cooper is staying with CNN until 2016. Without 360 and Parts Unknown CNN has nothing. Still waiting to hear that Crossfire and PMT are goneIf Don Lemon and Brooke Baldwin are the best CNN can do, the ratings woes remains. They are already bringing in low ratings for CNN. Besides late night television is better. TDS,Colbert,Conan, Kimmel, Letterman, Leno, soon to be replaced by Falon. Why would anyone waste time watching the pundits on CNN.

Someone needs to stop Jeff Zucker before it is too late. It's like watching a repeat of the huge collapse of NBC only this time around it is CNN.

The announcement on Don Lemon and Brooke Baldwin are being met with a collective yawn. Not everyone is a good show host. You are right Erin Burnett and Piers Morgan are just as bad along with Crossfire. Zucker should be fired for that dumb moer alone. Everything he has done has failed. Jake Tapper and Wolf Bilitzer have annoying voices. Lucky that CNN got Anderson Cooper to stick with them.

For pete's sake, has erin popped out that baby yet? She has been expecting for an eternity. I tuned in last night thinking she was gone already and she is still there. I am counting down the day I can try watching CNN during the 7 and 11 hours. Not a big fan of who Zucker picked to fill in, although I do like Tapper. Anyone is better than little miss wall street who thinks she is too cute for tv.

Don Lemon has an off-putting personality and anchoring style and comes off like a narcissist and egomaniac, maybe all of the anchors are but they don't make it as obvious as him. I did not appreciate his pathetic attempts to be the voice of black America either.

I'm not holding my breath waiting for CNN to correct the lies they have been repeating on the ACA. Where are the news stories on cost . Just yesterday a report came out saying 0.6 of the population will be affected when it coms to the ACA. So CNN lied when they said millions of Americans are losing healthcare. It is clear from the NYT that the GOP knows the media is easily punked into taking GOP talking points and using them as data sources for news stories, CNN will fall for anything. CNN should be out of business. The 2014 election will not bring viewers to CNN.

You have to wonder if CNN is beyond repair. Breaking news has not helped the network. Could be a sign that CNN's problems are getting deeper. There are hours upon hours when CNN is a distant 3rd and Jeff Zucker decides to tinker with the 11 PM hour. All of his decisions have been failures. Zucker is not the one who brought Anthony Bourdain, Morgan Spurlock or CNN to the network. That was all set in motion before he came to CNN. Nothing he has done has succeeded. All have been failures. New Day, The Lead,not knowing what to do with Wolf Blitzer, Crossfire. He as the wort performance record of any CNN president in recent history and he would have only been around for 1 year come 2014. Sadly, Jeff Zucker is destroying CNN.

According to TVN, if Martin Bashir had called Palin " nappy headed slut," he would have been suspended. But since, he did not,and he only said she should deficate and urinate, let's just say "on herself," that an ordinary apology is acceptable and MSNBC is just plain sexist.In Palin's defense, and I rarely if ever defend Sarah, both "Plain and Simple," Bashir should be suspended, and without pay for the forseeable future.Yes, Sarah is irritating and stupid, but she does get hired to speak nonsense, and HE has no right to demean her.She has the right to demean herself, and we can hardly wait.
